“I Wrote That!” Author Talk Series: Martin Herman on May 16

Waterbury, CT – On Tuesday, May 16th at 2 PM, the Palace Theater will host an afternoon steeped in suspenseful twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end. Author Martin Herman will explore the worlds he creates in his novels, blending real people, places, and events with his own imaginative characters and story lines. This event is made possible through the ongoing support of Rourke Insurance Agency, Timothy W. & Mary Ellen Rourke, and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UConn Waterbury.

By creating interesting characters and gently placing them into interesting situations, Herman has built a wide readership from young teens to seniors. His latest novel, Do You Know Where You Are, tells the story of Suzanne Fletcher and her perfect crime. Her plan was worked out to the smallest detail. She considered every possible element that could go wrong and had a plan “B” for each one. Even a plan ‘C’ for some. Suzanne thought of everything...well almost everything…and that is how this novel begins.

“We all love a good mystery,” explains Sheree Marcucci, Director of Special Projects & Curated Events for the Palace Theater, “Having a master storyteller guide us through the process of his craft is a rare opportunity.”

Tickets to this event are $20. Signed copies of Herman’s books will be available for purchase at the event. Tickets may be purchased at the Palace Theater Box Office: 203-346-2000 or palacetheaterct.org.

Martin Herman was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and currently lives in Connecticut, midway up a small mountain. For more than forty years he led a series of start-ups and troubled businesses towards stronger bottom-line results, here and abroad. Although he has written and published articles and short stories under a series of pen names since his early teens, it was not until he approached his 75th birthday that he published his first full length mystery novel, “The Jefferson Files – the expanded edition” – a historical murder mystery, (now in its 10th printing).
The response from readers as young as 10 all the way up to a 93 to the protagonist, Will James, sparked enough interest to turn it into a series. There are now six novels in this series – a whodunnit that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Martin and his daughter Aimee, already a published author on her own, wrote and published a book of short stories titled, “A Very Special Dress & Other Stories.”

He has released approximately two books each year independent of the Will James series. Watch for “Do You Know Where You Are?” and a collection of short stories submitted by readers for launch in 2022.

“I Wrote That” is a new series presented by the Palace Theater. It is devoted to books and the authors who write them, offering audiences the opportunity to engage with authors and ask questions in a less formal setting.
